Resilience by Design: What Holds, Who Decides, and What Breaks in an Age of Systemic Risk

Abstract

This issue of LABSREVIEW makes a claim without dressing it up: resilience is not something systems “develop” over time. It is something they either earn through design or lose through design shortcuts that look harmless until conditions change. In an era when shocks travel fast and compound quickly, resilience is less a future ambition than a present test of legitimacy.
